This repetition really drags the freshness out of the game, and makes it feel that much less realistic. The comments seem really fresh and realistic, but after you have played the game for a while you begin to hear the same lines on repeat. You feel your chest swell with pride when you hear your fighter’s comments to the news media, or catch the commentary from Joe Rogan. Repetition of lines becomes annoyingĪt first, UFC Undisputed has dazzling voice acting lines that excite and amaze players. You have tons of different options, which makes it truly feel like an MMA fight rather than simply a fighter game. Another detail that really adds to the feel of mixed martial arts is just how many moves there are in so many different styles. This adds a nice touch of realism, and that along with the announcers excitement really adds to the feel of the game. This latest version of the game also adds some awesome new touches, such as the ability to use the cage as part of the fight. When your character lands a clean punch, it feels solid and satisfying. One of the nice features of this game is how well the game mechanics work. If you love boxing, MMA, and other fighting sports you’ll love how close UFC Undisputed 2010 brings you to the real thing.
The announcers, detailed graphics, and amazingly detailed game mechanics all come together to make this a fight simulator that really pops.
